Garnik S. Asatrian, David Buyaner, Alexey Chibirov
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 noi 2025
The present volume brings together a carefully curated collection of scholarly essays that offer a multidimensional portrait of Ossetian cultural continuity from antiquity to the present. It presents original research by leading experts in the fields of Ossetology, Caucasian history, mythology, and ethnography. Each contribution provides a rigorous examination of particular elements—linguistic, mythological, archaeological, ritualistic, or historical—that illuminate the complex interplay between antiquity and modernity in Ossetian society.
The articles included in this volume, appeared in Russian from the late 19th century to the present day, essentially represent landmark publications on the Scytho-Alano-Ossetian problematics. The volume, in essence, reflects the development of this field of Iranian Studies over nearly a century and a half.
